Here are some results from a survey taken late last year (2008).
I’m not attesting to the validity of this survey, since very little information about its construction is available. But I present the information here only as a point of interest.
On the blog EducationAndClass.com was posted results of a survey addressing the question, “Where’s the future of activism?” The largest percentage answer given was for “non-students” (presumably adults) and was designated as “The Marketplace.” Meaning that the action area for activism was in the marketplace. Business? Boycotts? Protests? I suppose. The next largest percentage shown for non-students was Congress. Interesting that the commercial arena was chosen over expressing your opinions to your congressperson.
The article notes that the survey may not have been scientific, yet it raises some interesting points for further research, at the very least.
